History

The patron saint of the school is known for preaching "Prepare the way of the Lord, Make his paths straight" - Matthew 3:3. St. John the Baptist is also famous for announcing the coming of Jesus and then baptizing Jesus Christ our Lord. This school's name honours the prominent place of St. John the Baptist in our Catholic faith. St. John's Elementary School, as it was originally called, was founded in 1945 and was located at 746 Jane St.

In October of 1995 St. John's celebrated its 50th anniversary with over 600 people in attendance. On October 22nd, 2004, a Sod Turning ceremony was held at the new and present site on 746 Park St. The new school now called St. John Catholic Elementary School opened in September 2005. The Official Opening and Blessing of the school took place on October 23rd, 2005.

Our school community continues the tradition of praying the St. John the Baptist school prayer.
